Description

Expert information security management and governance guidance based on international best practice

As global threats to information security increase in frequency and severity, and organisations of all sizes, types and sectors face increased exposure to fast-evolving cyber threats, there has never been a greater need to implement a robust information security management system (ISMS) that complies with the international standard, ISO 27001.

IT Governance: An International Guide to Data Security and ISO27001/ISO27002 provides best-practice guidance from ISO 27001 experts, Alan Calder and Steve Watkins, to help you successfully implement an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS.

Defend your organisation against cyber threats

Now in its sixth edition, this bestselling guide is ideal for information security professionals and organisations that are looking to enhance their ISMS and protect against information security threats.

IT Governance: An International Guide to Data Security and ISO27001/ISO27002 is the definitive compliance guide, covering all aspects of data protection and information security, including viruses, criminal hackers, online fraud, privacy regulations, computer misuse and investigatory powers.

How information technology decisions should be made and monitored, and how to deal with risks;

The issues and responsibilities associated with risk;

The importance of information-related legislation and regulation;

How an organisation’s commercial viability and profitability increasingly depends on the security, confidentiality and integrity of information and information assets;

The new, global threats and vulnerabilities, particularly in cyberspace; and

How ISO 27001 compliance should enable organisations to demonstrate a proper response to all the challenges listed above.

IT Governance: An International Guide to Data Security and ISO27001/ISO27002 is the recommended textbook for the Open University’s postgraduate information security course and the recommended text for all IBITGQ ISO 27001 courses.
